Miguel Gonzalez to go on rehab assignment Friday
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:34 pm ET) Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez's side session Wednesday went off without a hitch and the righty will either throw a minor league game or a simulated game Friday, MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez has been dealing with a thumb blister but he had no issues with it in the side session. If his rehab game goes well, expect Gonzalez to return to the major league rotation sometime next week -- perhaps Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on how many pitches he throws.


Marlon Byrd enjoying productive May
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1:20 pm ET) Mets outfielder Marlon Byrd homered, doubled and drove in two runs Tuesday against the Cardinals. Byrd has three home runs, seven doubles and 16 RBI through 28 games.

Byrd is enjoying a productive May, batting .370 (10 for 27) with a .667 slugging percentage and 1.024 OPS in eight games (seven starts). He also has two doubles, two home runs and six RBI.


Ryan Zimmerman has Dodgers' ace figured out
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1:13 pm ET) Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman tied a season-high with three hits Tuesday against the Dodgers. All three hits came off of Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw.

"Zimmerman, I can't get that guy out," Kershaw said. "He owns me so I have to figure that out."

Zimmerman is batting .538 (7 for 13) with one double, one RBI and one walk in his career against the left-handed hurler.

"He's obviously one of the best pitchers in the game," he said. "I guess you just have to kind of keep it simple. I wish I knew what I was doing so I could tell everyone."

Zimmerman is batting .313 (15 for 48) in his last 13 games, raising his batting average from .220 to .270.


Paul Konerko returns to lineup
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:11 pm ET) White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko is back in the lineup Wednesday against Minnesota, CSN Chicago reports.

Konerko has been held out of the lineup for the past two games in an attempt to knock the veteran out of a season-long slump. Konerko has just a .623 OPS over 126 at-bats.


Michael Bourn out of lineup
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(1:07 pm ET) Indians outfielder Michael Bourn is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Phillies, the club announced.

The Indians will give Bourn a day off with Wednesday's day game following Tuesday's night game. Bourn is just 3 for 18 since returning from a hand injury March 10.


John Mayberry emerges from prolonged slump
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1:06 pm ET) Phillies outfielder John Mayberry had a season-high three hits and tied a season-high with three RBI Tuesday against the Indians. Mayberry ended his multi-hit drought at 21 games (13 starts).

His batting average rose from .218 to .242 due to his three hits Tuesday. He also had his first RBI since April 28, which ended a drought of 12 games (five starts) without an RBI.


Yasmani Grandal getting closer to activation
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(1:01 pm ET) Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal, who is serving a 50-game suspension, will join Triple-A Tucson Saturday to begin a 10-day rehab assignment prior to his suspension ending May 28, according to U-T San Diego. Grandal has been sidelined all season and is expected to share catcher duties with Nick Hundley once active.

Domonic Brown hitting better in last few weeks
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:54 pm ET) Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown homered and had two hits to extend his hitting streak to five games Tuesday against the Indians. Brown is batting .381 (8 for 21) with one double, one home run and four RBI in his last five games.

Brown is batting .301 (22 for 73) with a .548 slugging percentage, three doubles, five home runs and 13 RBI in his last 19 games. His batting average has risen from .206 to .257 in that span.


Jose Tabata's average up more than 100 points in May
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:50 pm ET) Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata collected his fourth multi-hit game in May Tuesday against the Brewers. Tabata went 3 for 5 with one walk and two doubles.

Tabata is batting .522 (12 for 23) with one home run, three doubles and three RBI in eight May games (four starts). His batting average has soared from .178 to .294 since the start of May.


Cole Hamels 'real close' to going on hot streak
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(12:40 pm ET) Although he hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in four straight starts, Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels is 1-3 in that span. However, manager Charlie Manuel is quite confident the left-handed hurler is due for a hot streak.

"He's real close to getting on one of those runs, has had good stuff, but walked more than usual, matter of command," Manuel said during an interview on MLB Network Radio.
